Seems to have blown away. Will look at something else for here

Found, but it's "gone with the wind". Empty, open container. . Tftc

Tricky reach. Found with Moneydork on a road trip during his visit to NZ TFTC

This cache was one of 350 found on a short trip back to New Zealand, which was principally organised so that I could attend my Great Grandmother's 100th birthday.
I have a great time and enjoyed a great variety of caches, most of which were new (ie published in the past couple of years ).
Thanks for all the great caches.

This was an easy find thanks to the description and hint. Team effort with Tipsytui. It was a pleasant walk along the river to get here. Tftc.

Found with Flowerydaze on a walk along the river after visiting the Opawa market. A quick find after reading hint and widening search area. Tftc!

Needed a big hint from Clurbee for this one. Took Big cheese and Little duck along for a visit.

Simple find, not too much of a reach!
TFTC!

There it is! TFTC

It all makes sense now. Can't believe I didn't find it when I first looked a while ago. Who needs magnet anyway? Thanks for the hide - I'm working along the river and this was my first gap - now a smiley!

Great idea for a hide. Quick find on a sat night Tftc

I would never have thought of hiding a cache in this kind of container - nice hint too! Found at 1400Hr on 14February 2015. I even managed to leave a 1959 6d!

Hi. My son has wanted to show me this geocache since last year when he found it with school & finally today we didn't have the younger two with us so we went to 'find' it but it doesn't seem to be there
I hope it hasn't blown away!

Unfortunately we couldn't find it today. I'm wondering if something has happened to it as my son was with me & he had previously found it so he was wanting to show me it.

With the morning free before the Superbowl some geocaching was required. No muggles so was a quick and easy find. The magnets have lost the attraction. Intresting container. Tftc

First ever find!

Couldn't find it even though I had my hand on it, my patter found it one second after my look.. TFTC

Was a quick find after finding the nearby puzzle.

An easy find once I had another read of the description and widened the search..A good hide. tftc

I am sure kids hang out here. TFTC

Fun find

Much fun with NO swimming

Yes! #theJinjaBanditos strike again!

Thanks for the cache

#8922. Troodles had alredy found this cache. As it was on our route home, she suggested we should stop by so I could find it as well. Nicely hidden. TFTC.

Nicely hidden. Tftc

Cool find - happy hero junior. TFTC

Quick find TFTC

Don't rely on your cell phone gps, use your noggin gps

Quickly found

Seven oaks found the troll!

We found it! Seven Oaks School

First cache of the evening cache run. A few people still about on the warm evening but managed a quick find and sign. Not quite the container I expected and Chelzea was constantly telling me not to fall in the river. TFTC

Found with Sevren tftc

Should have read the description - pointing to the unusual container. Nice one, TFTC

I didn't almost get soaking wet... I don't know what you're talking about! TFTC (1260)

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
Yes we do. Had to negotiate with the troll but got it in the end.
Great Cache. Thanks.

Wasn't sure if I would be able to get to this cache with the recent rain, especially as I didn't have my walking pole with me. It's indispensable on any terrain where I am liable to slip. It didn't seem too bad, just had to watch my step as I walked very close to the rivers edge.
Cache was a quick find, an ideal container for this spot. Not a place I'd like to be when an earth quake struck, though. TFTC.

Lucky troll tftc

Good find, not as bad as expected

A fairly quick find, although it was difficult to get a grip on the cache. It appears to be just sitting in position at present. TFTC

This had me fooled but Super Nanny was on to it. TFTC.

Very cool thank you !!!! We down from Auckland for weekend ...

Found it! Took me three goes but luckily I live really close by so could come back for another crack
Clever - TFTC

Thanks for cache..Czech Team

Made the manbeast get muddy shoes for this one
TFTC

Nice quick find. TFTC.

Hint helped. TFTC.

Co-rods out but hint helped

TFTC

Glad for the hints. My GPS put me up in the bushes by the path. But then I'm getting used to caches placed by phone cachers... TFTC.

Spent a few minutes on this one but after a bit of squelching managed to get my hands on it. Murky looking river! Cheers

Bridge is looking a bit munted! Quick find after zeroing in where i thought it would be. TFTC, #6664

Nice easy find while passing. TFTC

Areas a bit wet after the flooding but cache is ok. TFTC

Great find with Aimee*

Nice find still sighs of the flooding round but easy to get to it.

Finally found it. Was looking in the wrong place and was closer to the coordinates than where I was looking. Easy find and interesting container.

Alot of evidence following the flooding, cache still ok. TFTC

Man that was easy

Nice catch! Had fun with my little sister!

Strange placing!?

May not of been the best time to look for this cache after all the heavy rain, will come back when the river is within its banks

Great afternoon to get out for a walk while there's a break in the crappy weather. TFTC.

Out on a mission with ShannonP1 and quickly had the clever cache in hand. Loved the container but probably not the original contents... Signed the log and was off to collect the next smillie. Thanks for the hide.

Ahh the coordinates were terrible but I went to the place I thought it could be and out the corner of my eye saw it!! Ahh love the container. Totally not micro though.

TFTC

Woohoo awesomeness! ! Tftc

Nice cache! Thank you!

Be careful

Coords not quite right for me. The hint & previous messages helped. Bit of a mission getting to the cache but worth the effort.

Quick find for us today. Enjoying a walk along the river. TFTC.

DNF getting abit late and dark. Calling it a night. Will be back

Little bit scary! Was kinda scared Id drop it!

Pleased to find this with Mr Fitch on a beautiful day. Intrepid! Almost gave up Co-ords out. Wanted something to hang onto!

GPS way off for me so went with logic. Tftc

Better luck this time out with warfi
Coords had us going in circles
Thanks

Geocaching on a wet sunday #3 TFTC. Coords were a little out but stagged it in the end

Was about to give up as GPS didn't really point me to a likely place. Went for a wander and there it was. TFTC.

GPS played up but found it in the end

Glad to come back and turn this smile into the right colour. The GPS coords were still quite out for us but not as much as last time. I was ready to give up just when Mum found it. Thanks for the cache

[blue]Cache of the Day: 8/17 [/blue] | [purple]Our cache find: #2296[/purple]

Coords didn't help too much, but hint sure did, TFTC.

Cool as

The magnet isn't doing anything, but the cache was quickly found. TFTC

Cool

Tftc

Took us a little while but after a decent search we found it. TFTC!

Thanks to a wee bit of help. Although even then I nearly dnfed. I remembered something BBear44 and I talked about in someone's comment. It was pretty accurate. Knowing what type of container helped. After such close examination of the bridge and surrounding area I am surprised they still let us use it. Tftc

Second unsuccessful search.

Can log this one for real this time after being fooled by a troll and the clue on a previous occasion. Well hidden. Thanks

Looked everywhere - didn't seem to be anywhere near coordinates

With a couple of recent DNF's decided to check and delighted to advise that the cache has not been a victim of a gentle zephyr or excessive flatulence and is all good.

Not sure what went wrong here. This was our third cache and the third DNF of the morning. We were in a hurry to get out to Halswell to do the Earthcache for Earthcache Day and then up to the Earthcache Day event. 3rd in a list of 8 other rushed DNFs today. We will be back to turn this frown the right way up. Thanks

Got it I think. Will send the CO a photo as I think this one needs a bit of maintenance as it is not its former self and there is no logbook. I have searched the area well on two occasions including tonight before finding it.
Thanks.

Felt like a monkey with the old acrobatics but came up successful. TFTC.

Looked briefly in the right place but dismissed it. After carefully reading the logs i realised my mistake and cache was soon in hand.
TFTC

My gps was pointing in the wrong place but I had read the description so quick find. Glad I have long arms and what a cool cache container! Thanks

Quick find.

My gps persisted in leading me some distance away from the container. So I spent quite some time searching elsewhere and pondering the meaning of the hint. Eventually I decided to read the description. Oh, so it is over there! [B)] Dunno, about that zntarg reference. The container wasn't using it! Cache creep?. TFTC
